Kinfauns: March, 1969.


It's always instructive to read what they said at the time, as opposed to what they couldn't remember later, and so it is with this fascinating little slice of vérité from the week after George got "done" by the "fuzz" (who, allegedly, brought their etc. to be on the safe etc.).
The source of a couple of oft-repeated quotes, the article also shows George either spinning away like mad, or else providing yet another "everything you know is wrong" moment vis-a-vis contemporary inter-Fabs relations (though the most telling bit is probably Hari's refusal to raise so much as a titter at John's HDN-style antics. Gilt and gingerbread had clearly parted company).
You'll likely have to download this, and then zoom in to read it. Or not.


Many thanks go to Bruno Dupont for tracking the above down.

  1. Good read.
    I don't remember reading about details like the "stick" found in a shoe being such a hefty lump before (350g would be about the size of a shoe fer cryin out loud!). Nor the fact that he wasn't presented with the evidence at the scene, not that it would have mattered.
    Pilcher got his due later.
